I am going to pop mine off this weekend to check it out to see if I can go full size and replace the original front cover. I am curious as it is just a NEMA box so should just have a o-ring seal. Question is the seal embedded in the cover or the box?

I am also thinking to have one of these made for the sump that seals. Maybe with a clear plexiglass door. I bet they could make it to replace the whole original cover. Would sure make servicing it easier.

I have a pic of the box, and there's no seal on it and I don't remember seeing one on the inside of the factory cover either. I would go full size, and replace the factory cover now that I how boat outfitters makes the cover.

I am sure they can make this. I am thinking white frame with clear door.

Something similar to this, but maybe with 2 latches if needed?https://www.boatoutfitters.com/sailfish-livewell-lid

I think i would still want the clear door, so could do a quick visual inspection.

you know it would be cool but I don't know that I care. I will definately ask for sure. I like the removable door, that makes it easy to service for sure.

I like the removable door feature as well. Perhaps they'd consider making that out of clear plexiglass like the bait well lids?

Thanks for taking the lead on this!
 
they said it is "do-able" just need the size as the plexi will drive up the price a little, I am sure it is peanuts. I told him i would get the "cut-out" size this weekend and some pics so he can quote us.

Agreed. I'd offer to go down to the boat this weekend (and I might go) but they are talking single digits and the wind chill. BRRRRR! Go ahead and rub it in, tell us how warm it will be...
